MANILA – The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) on Tuesday advised the commuters and motorists to take alternative routes and refrain from passing through Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City.

In its Facebook account, MMDA said that some major roads in the area will be closed due to the medical mission being conducted by the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC).

In an interview, MMDA Traffic Discipline Office Head, Atty Crisanto Saruca advised the motorist to take the following alternate routes:

Vehicles going to Fairview take right to Sandiganbayan then exit to Litex.

For Public Utility Vehicles (PUBs), two counterflow lanes will be open for motorists along Commonwealth Avenue west bound where their passengers can alight along the stretch of Commonwealth – Sandiganbayan headed towards Litex.

Saruca also said that they already deployed 140 traffic enforcers until Tuesday midnight to assist motorists.
